These services are backed by 40+ years experience in the design and survey of yachts and vessels up to 160m in length. We regularly carry out Expert Witness work in the High Courts, London and abroad, including the U.S.A., on matters related to yacht and small commercial craft design and survey. 
 
Forensic investigations and assessment of technical data can be undertaken, making use of comprehensive in house computer software and hardware as required, and using external specialists where approriate.
